Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heat treatment inner chamber for heat treating a substrate, which is based on a patent application as described in, for example, U.S. Patent 6,703,589 B1, which is incorporated herein by reference. Pre-characterized clause of item 1 of the scope. The invention further relates to a processing chamber having a heat-treated inner chamber which is disposed inside an outer chamber and which is suitable for use in a heat treatment-substrate according to the pre-characterized clause of claim S19. "Prior Art> For the surface heat treatment of a substrate (for example, by coating with a metal oxygenation in a high vacuum or by a sputtering process), it is usually necessary to apply a substrate (and possibly to a substrate). The coating on the substrate is subjected to a thermal pretreatment and/or a process step. To this end (4), the substrate is usually heated to the desired temperature by means of a heat source and maintained at this temperature for a predetermined period of time. German Patent DE 103 04 774 B3 discloses a method for heating a guard in which the workpiece is housed in a closed container and the substrate is heated by convection of the gas. The gas is fed over a hot body and subsequently flows around the workpiece to be heated. This method allows the heat to be transferred very uniformly to the workpiece' but requires the presence of a heating stream. Furthermore, in the case of larger two-dimensional workpieces, rapid heating (greater than PC/S) with a high surface power density (greater than 1 〇 w/cm 2 ) can only be achieved with considerable difficulty. European Patent EP 662 247 B1 describes a two-stage process for producing a thin film solar cell in which a heat treatment is carried out. 201135847 In order to produce a copper indium diselenide (CIS) semiconductor layer on a substrate, the constituent components of the semiconductor, such as copper, indium and selenium, are first applied to the substrate having the molybdenum electrode in an elemental form; They are heated together to a process temperature of about 4 〇'〇t, thus forming a CIS semiconductor layer. The heat treatment of the layer structure is carried out such that a portion of the pressure required for one of the constituents is maintained during the heating process. In order to ensure this, the substrate having the layer structure is enclosed in a closed valley (for example, a graphite box and heated by using a heating machine such as a halogen lamp). The closed container ensures that no ingredients may be present. Escape during the heating process such that a chalcopyrite system having the desired stoichiometric ratio of the components is produced on the substrate. Graphite has - high emissivity and - high conductivity, ', rate' and can therefore be fast Efficiently absorb the light radiation emitted by the halogen lamp and transfer it to the layer structure contained in the graphite box. As an alternative, it has been proposed to simultaneously enclose the layer structure in one by one by means of an optical mechanism. The moon material (for example, quartz) is made in one of the containers to heat it. The container described in European Patent No. EP 662 247 B1 is used for heat treatment of large surfaces = multilayer bodies, especially in the case of rapid heating. The continuation of the crisis of inputting uneven heat into individual layers of the multilayer body, which may break or break. In order to avoid this problem, the German patent DE i 99 36 081 δ 1 I® j-vs is provided for plus The plurality of energy sources of heat, by means of which the individual layers of::: can be individually heated. For this purpose, the transparent body is - between the layer to be heated and its associated energy source, its transmission And the glazed pottery: the person adapts to the layer of interest. The heating body can be composed, for example, of a glass ceramic, which absorbs and transmits a large part of the heat radiation. In this way, the heat treatment period P卩UL, the mechanical mechanism The stress system is intended to be minimized. In particular, 201135847 The multilayer body can be configured in a closed container whose wall facing the energy source is formed by a transparent body. US Patent No. 6,703,589 B1 (which defines the same type) description A processing chamber for use in a workpiece in a toxic and/or corrosive atmosphere: heat treatment. The treatment comprises an outer chamber in which a closed heat treatment is placed until the X piece to be heated is introduced to the latter. In addition, a heating mechanism, a heat treatment inner chamber and a workpiece contained therein are provided by means of a heating mechanism: heat. Various methods and devices for heat treatment of the substrate are thus known from the prior art. The wall of the treatment chamber is typically composed of a material that absorbs and transmits heat and light radiation (for example, graphite or a glass of ceramics). This result is the power of the heat treatment chamber - most of which heats the walls of the chamber. The furnace causes the walls to be overheated when the cycle time is short. In addition, the power is radiated outward by the wall of the heat treatment inner chamber. This is especially the case when the heat treatment is surrounded by another -1 (for example, a vacuum chamber). Have problems,

[Invention] The object of the present invention is to provide a substrate for heat treatment, which can be used in a very short energy efficiency (IV), especially when using selenium, without causing heat treatment: heat Overheating of the chamber wall). In addition, it is intended to provide a processing chamber for heat treatment of the substrate in a gas atmosphere and/or a vacuum. 4 201135847 The purpose of this special purpose is achieved by the characteristics of the independent patent application scope. The application for a patent scope is for an advantageous configuration. Therefore, the heat treatment inner chamber for treating a substrate has a wall enclosing heat treatment to an inner space; having a mounting device for mounting the substrate during the heat treatment; and having an energy source For directing energy into the inner space of the heat treatment inner chamber, at least a portion of the interior of the heat treatment inner chamber is formed to reflect power introduced by the energy source, characterized in that at least a portion of the interior of the heat treatment inner chamber is At least for materials that are highly reflective of infrared radiation. The manufacture of such walls from a material that reflects at least infrared radiation advantageously achieves a simplified and more economical manufacture than prior art techniques. In the following, the term "intermittance" means a material having a reflectance of more than 6%, preferably more than 80%, particularly preferably more than 9%. The equivalent of the reflection ratio is preferably between 25 Å and 3,000 nm, and more preferably in the wavelength range between _N and 2 ng. The material is thermally stable up to 200 t: preferably up to 5 Torr (rc, particularly preferably 900 ° C.) The material is preferably inert with respect to the substrate used for heat treatment (eg selenium). A heat treatment inner chamber for accommodating a substrate during heat treatment has a cooling device, and the wall of the heat treatment inner chamber can be cooled by the heat treatment. By means of the cooling device, the inner enthalpy is heat treated (the high temperature therein is by means of an energy source during the heat treatment) Producing) Τ is thermally isolated from the surrounding. The cooling device further removes thermal energy from the introduced human chamber wall and thus prevents overheating of the inner chamber. The cooling device is preferably formed to have a high specific heat capacity 201135847 The cooling circuit of the liquid or gas coolant (especially, x_), the coolant is passed through the wall of the heat treatment inner chamber according to the %. For this purpose, the wall system of the inner chamber is set. In the at least zone with the cold passage, the coolant is sent through the cooling passage. It is advantageous to heat all the Siam feeds in the inner chamber by heat-treating the inner chamber to the outer chamber. heat Radiation can be reduced or reduced on all sides. The cooling channel can be I + ... the mountain is stretched in a zigzag pattern on the wall of the heat treatment chamber; in this case, the cooling channel is preferably cooled by a cold coolant. Introduced into the wall region in such a manner that the ridge region is subjected to the most intensive heating during the heat treatment 'from the region the coolant is fed to the less thermally stressed wall region. If it is intended to heat the interior of the chamber When a very high temperature is produced (greater than 500t and up to 2000. (or above), the heat treatment inner chamber and the components contained therein are subjected to high heat and corrosion stress; the material selected for it must therefore have high thermal stability, In particular, it is resistant to corrosion by selenium. Materials suitable for use in heat treating the walls of the inner chamber are, in particular, fire resistant steels, although such materials generally have a relatively low thermal conductivity. Worthfield iron stainless steel AISI 316L is preferred. In order to ensure that the coolant circulating through the cooling channels in the wall of the heat treatment chamber can efficiently remove heat without forming a large temperature gradient, it is advantageous to configure the cooling channel with a rectangular section. Adjacent cooling channels are separated by webs. The width is preferably between 2% and 80% of the width of the cooling channel. The effect achieved by the relatively small web is the thermal power of the light inside. A short path having a relatively large cross section is brought to the coolant' while achieving sufficiently high mechanical stability. The height of the web is set to drive sufficient coolant through the cooling passage to maintain the temperature difference in the coolant at 201135847 Preferably, the height of the web of 20% and 8% of the thickness is preferably between the cooling channels. The width: the energy of the substrate in the heat treatment inner chamber is preferably supplied by means of a heating mechanism. The radiation is disposed within the range of electromagnetic radiation within the range of -". The heating mechanism can be formed, for example, by one or more heatable quartz rods that protrude into the heat treatment. Within the room. Preferably, the stone rods are disposed parallel to each other and parallel to the surface of the substrate. In order to achieve uniform heating below and above the substrate, the quartz rods can be disposed above and below the surface of the substrate. As an alternative, the heating energy can be generated by laser radiation in the visible or ultraviolet spectral range of the external line. The radiation is directed through the appropriate window into the heat treatment chamber. - Advantageously, the heat treatment inner chamber is a closable container such that the inner space of the heat treatment inner chamber is completely enclosed by the wall during the heat treatment of the substrate, and the addition, only the thermal energy of the mechanism is radiated into the heat treatment inner chamber , but not into the position:: within the area from the inside to the outside. The feedthrough (cable, etc.) for the energy supply to the heating mechanism can be thermally insulated by minimizing local unevenness in the energy flux leaving the heat treatment chamber. In order to achieve a heating of the inner space of the inner chamber of the heat treatment as fast as possible y is effective and in order to minimize the proportion of heating power transmitted to the chamber wall, the reflector can be disposed in the inner space of the heat treatment inner chamber. Preferably, at least the wall surface facing the inner region of the heat treatment inner chamber is preferably composed of a material having a high reflectance in a wavelength range from infrared light to infrared light at 2000 nm or 3000 nm. If the energy is supplied by means of an infrared radiator (for example a quartz rod), then high reflection is preferably provided in at least the wavelength range of the infrared radiator. For example, stainless steel, gold, gold, nitrides such as titanium nitride or tantalum nitride, or a diffusely highly reflective thermoplastic (such as pressed PTFE, which has an effective range from 25 nanometers to 2,500 nanometers) Spectral range and 99% reflectance between 490 nm and 15 nm, and more than 95% reflectance between 250 nm and 2500 nm, thermal stability up to 4〇 One of the temperatures, known as Spectralon from Labsphere, can be used as a surface material or a wall material. The inner wall of the heat treatment inner chamber is advantageously provided with a reflector that shields the walls from the thermal power that is transmitted into the interior space. It is advantageous to provide an intermediate &lifier [which is made of a material that is highly reflective at least for infrared radiation, or has an intermediate reflector wall surface that is composed of one material and that is oriented toward the inner region, which is configured The wall surface facing the inner region of the inner chamber is heat treated and preferably separated from the wall surface of the heat treatment inner chamber facing the inner portion. If the intermediate reflector wall is used, the wall of the heat treatment inner chamber disposed thereafter may have a low reflectance, for example between 40% and 60%. Additional reflectors can be formed and disposed within the heat treatment chamber, whereby the electromagnetic substrate (e.g., infrared light) that heats the substrate is focused onto the substrate. In addition, (extra) Μ Γ旳 can be provided, the tongue (e.g., tiltable) reflector plate' which locally affects the power of radiation into the substrate. By means of these reflector plates, it is especially possible to achieve a homogenization of the temperature profile in the edge region of a private product. In order to better achieve the continuation of the energy emitted to the substrate, further uniform 11 201135847 as made of glass ceramics). Configurable 'a translucent intermediate reflector (for example, a cooling wall between the substrate and the heat treatment inner chamber for guiding the substrate into the heat treated meat - and cooling the inner chamber and removing it from the heat treatment inner chamber, advantageously Providing a closable opening, * 1 j having a cross section adapted to the shape of the substrate; in the wire system for treating a flat substrate, the opening is formed in the shape of a slit for use in the heat treatment chamber (4) The conveyor device of the transport substrate may be additionally disposed in the inner space of the heat treatment inner chamber. Advantageously, the mounting device on which the base y ... is broken is formed as a conveyor device. If the heat treatment constitutes two other processing steps Between the intermediate steps (the basin f is a true ^ or using a different process gas), usually the process technology is used. The enthalpy is heat treated inside the vacuum vessel, so that the treatment in the rail: no extra flowers before or after The cost is suitable for the process. The processing chamber comprises a heat treatment inner chamber having a cooling wall, and the cooling wall is disposed inside the outer chamber (especially a vacuum chamber). Due to the cooling walls, the heat The thermal internal space of the inner chamber is thermally isolated from the vacuum chamber. This ensures that the components of the vacuum chamber (which are generally temperature sensitive) do not suffer any damage even when subjected to high temperature heat treatment (especially at temperatures greater than 50 °C). The heat treatment inner chamber disposed inside the outer chamber is supported on the outer wall by means of a spacer, and the spacer is composed of a material having a low thermal conductivity. If a coolant circuit is used to cool the heat treatment inner chamber (such as above) Said), it is advantageous to use a conduit extending into the interior of the spacer for supplying coolant into the wall of the heat treatment inner chamber and for discharging the coolant therefrom. The process chamber structure of the present invention allows for efficient Substrate heat treatment, where 12 201135847 high energy input can be introduced into the substrate in a short time without causing overheating of the outer chamber (vacuum chamber) enclosing the wall of the hot chamber. Even when greater than 丨 5 W/cm 2 The large surface power density is radiated onto the substrate, and the internal space of the heat treatment inner chamber is still effectively thermally isolated from the outer chamber.

The term "heat treatment" is intended to mean any process or process step involving the heating of a substrate. The processing chamber 1 comprises an evacuatable chamber (outer chamber) 2, and in its internal space 13 201135847 22, a deficiencies - ..., Enner to 3 are arranged. The heat treatment inner chamber 3 is configured as a closable cloak 23 having a wall 10, and the wall 10 preferably encloses the interior door of the heat treatment inner chamber 3 on all sides. However, the heat treatment inner chamber 3 does not necessarily need to be closed in a manner that is airtight, but instead the internal space 24 of the heat treatment inner chamber 3 can be injected into the ash, for example by means of the outer chamber 2. The interior of the wall 10 is Preferably, the metal material is highly reflective from at least the infrared ray system, and further preferably, the wall 10 (especially the interior of the wall) is made of a material which is thermally stable and especially resistant to the sun (4). Composition. In particular, 'Was Tiantie Iron Stainless Steel AIS" 16L is applicable to the material used for heat treatment of the wall of the inner chamber 3. Treatment to the base of the 1 series for the multi-stage production process Heat treatment of the material 2. Therefore, the outer chamber 2 has a population and an outlet 4, and the substrate 2 can be introduced into the processing chamber through its self-upstream processing stage (not shown) and transported from the processing chamber 1 to Another-downstream processing stage (not shown in the drawings). In order to introduce the substrate 20 into the heat treatment inner chamber 3 and remove the substrate 2 from it, an opening (not shown) that can close the slit shape is provided The heat treatment inner chamber 3 is opposite to each other On the end side, in order to mount and transport the substrate 2, the heat treatment inner chamber 3 is provided with a roller 8, which can be rotated in a controlled or regular manner and attached to the circular opening 9 of the wall 1 of the heat treatment inner chamber 3. In order to heat the substrate 20, the heat treatment inner chamber 3 has an energy source 11' having a heating mechanism 11' which is formed by a heatable quartz rod 12 in the exemplary embodiments of the second and second figures, quartz The rod 12 is fed through the heat treatment inner chamber: the recess 13 in the wall 10 enters the inner space 24. For the sake of clarity, only a single quartz rod i 2 is separately in the i-th and second figures in the table eight 201135847 , however, a plurality of recesses in the wall ι 显示 displayed above and below the plane of the substrate indicate a plurality of quartz rods aligned with the plane of the substrate, the substrate 20 being self-contained Heating up and down. As an alternative or additional 'thermal energy can be introduced into the heat treatment inner chamber 3 as a (pulsed) electromagnetic radiation through the window. In order to minimize the thermal stress of the outer chamber 2, the heat treatment inner chamber 3 is set There is a V device 14 through which the heat transferred from the energy source 11 to the chamber wall can be ( At least—mostly removed. The cooling device 14 thus thermally isolates the thermal internal space of the heat treatment inner chamber 3 from the outer chamber 2. The cooling device 14 includes a cooling circuit 15 for a liquid=agent (e.g., oil), It circulates through the heat treatment zone to the cooling passage 16 in the wall 10 of the wall 3. The cooling device 14 additionally comprises a pump (not shown) and a heat exchanger, which passes away from the cooling passage W to the reflowed heated coolant. It may be cooled before the coolant is fed back to the heat treatment zone to the cooling channel 16. The cooling channel 16 extends inside the wall 1〇 in a meandering pattern. In order to withstand temperatures greater than 50 (TC, the wall of the heat treatment chamber The lanthanum is made of fire resistant steel. This steel has a low thermal conductivity, so a special method must be used to achieve a uniform thermal profile of the wall: the cooling passage 16 has an approximately rectangular cross-sectional profile. Adjacent cooling passages 16 are separated by webs 18 having a width 19 that is less than the width 17 of the cooling passages 16; web width 19 is typically between 20% and 80% of the channel width 17. The small web width 19 effectively prevents localized heating of the walls in the web region 18 disposed between the cooling passages 16. In addition, the web twist 18a is selected in a range between 20% and 80% of the channel width 17. 15 201135847 The wall 1 of the heat treatment to 3 is fastened to the outer chamber by means of a spacer %. 2 This is preferably done by means of the wall 10 being fastened to the outer chamber 2 by means of at least one spacer 26.

Furthermore, as indicated by the example in Fig. 1, additional reflectors 3〇 may be provided in selected areas of the interior space 24 (e.g., in corners) which cause shielding of such areas from radiation of the heating mechanism 11' / or focus the heated infrared radiation onto the substrate 2〇. Between the wall 10 of the heat treatment inner chamber 3 and the substrate 20, there may be a translucent intermediate reflector (e.g., quartz) which has a high thermal stability and results in a uniform space for heating. In the exemplary embodiments of Figs. 1 and 2, heat is mainly transferred from the heating mechanism 石英 (quartz rod 12) to the substrate 2 by heat radiation. As an alternative, a protective gas (especially an inert gas) can be fed into the heat treatment chamber 3 through a feed 201135847 and discharged (not shown) to increase heat transfer by convection. A mechanism for temperature measurement (not shown) may be provided in the heat treatment chamber 3, for example, a high temperature thermometer is guided to the substrate 2 and the heat radiation radiated by the substrate 20 is detected. Furthermore, the energy removed from the wall 1 by means of the coolant can be determined by the temperature measurement in the supply and return paths of the coolant circuit 15; t' and compared to the energy of the radiation; this allows continuous monitoring = heat treatment The heat balance of the inner chamber 3 to detect or prevent overheating. .
